I generally don’t put up stories about commitments, particularly when we’re talking about kids like Stanley Williams who won’t even show up until 2014, but I’m a total sucker for stories like his.

Stanley Williams knew he belonged in Sanford Stadium.

“He held his hands up and he looked up towards heaven and said ‘This is my home,'” recalled Williams’ mother, Darlene. “He claimed it and he had faith.”

One might think that happened during Friday evening’s Dawg Night football camp. Nope, that happened when the now rising sophomore was just 13 years old. Then, the Bethlehem (Ga.) Apalachee tailback was far from a top-flight college prospect. He was working the Sanford Stadium concession stands for his church group.
